Introduction
Obsidian Edge 2 is a multi-player total conversion modification for Crysis, but most probably Crysis Wars, and it is developed by the Polishing Weevils Development team. It is a tactical shooter focused on realism and a strong emphasis has been placed on teamwork.

Obsidian Edge 2 goes Alpha
The OE2 team has currently entered the internal alpha stage and has laid out plans for their future beta releases as well. As of right now, their plan is to conduct phased beta testing, when the time is right. Each trailing patch will contain additional new content, allowing us to release once the core game is ready to be played. The plan looks something like this:
  • Internal Alpha - Team only; iron out the major bugs
  • Closed Beta - Invitation only; Iron out minor bugs and game play issues
  • Open Beta - Hopefully focused more on game play though I am sure some bugs will slip through.
  • Release - Monitor for bugs
  • Patch - Fix bugs and release additional content, will require additional beta test

Where do you, the gaming community fit in?
There is actually a lot you, the public can do to help move Obsidian Edge along. They will of course need beta testers when the time comes, but please understand that what they really need are real, high quality testers, especially at first. they will be looking for people that have previous beta testing experience and who they will be able to get solid feedback from. Beta tester applications can be found here. For instance, right now one of the very active threads in the Dev. section of the forums is how to best implement the role of medic into the game. They would like to gather as many suggestions and hear from as many community members as possible. You can visit that thread here and post your feedback.

Final Note
